PURPOSE We aimed to compare chest HRCT lung signs identified in scans of differently aged patients with COVID-19 infections. METHODS Case data of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 infection in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province in China were collected, and chest HRCT signs of infected patients in four age groups ( less then 18 years, 18-44 years, 45-59 years, ≥60 years) were compared. RESULTS Small patchy, ground-glass opacity (GGO), and consolidations were the main HRCT signs in 98 patients with confirmed COVID-19 infections. Patients aged 45-59 years and aged ≥60 years had more bilateral lung, lung lobe, and lung field involvement, and greater lesion numbers than patients less then 18 years. GGO accompanied with the interlobular septa thickening or a crazy-paving pattern, consolidation, and air bronchogram sign were more common in patients aged 45-59 years, and ≥60 years, than in those aged less then 18 years, and aged 18-44 years. Ivosidenib CONCLUSIONS Chest HRCT manifestations in patients with COVID-19 are related to patient's age, and HRCT signs may be milder in younger patients. Emergency department (ED) overcrowding is a global condition that severely worsens attention to patients, increases clinical risks and affects hospital cost management. A correct and early prediction of ED's admission is of high value and a motivation to adopt machine learning models. However, several of these studies do not consider data collected in textual form, which is a feature set that contains detailed information about patients and presents great potential for medical health care improvement. To this end, we propose and compare predictive models for admission that use both structured and unstructured data available at triage time. In total, our dataset comprised 499,853 pediatric ED's presentations (with an admission rate of 5.76%) of patients with age up to 18 years old observed over 3.5 years. Our best model consists of a 2-stage architecture with a deep neural network (DNN) to extract information from textual data followed by a gradient boosting classifier. This combined model achieved a value of 0.892 for the Area Under the Curve (AUC) in the test data. We highlight the importance of DNN-based text processing for better prediction, since the absence of text features resulted in AUC reduction of approximately two percentage points. Also, the feature importance of text was higher than that of the Manchester Triage System (MTS), which is a widely used risk classification protocol. These results suggest that activations from a trained DNN should be used in transfer learning setups in future studies. Public health scholars classify gay men as "men who have sex with men (MSM)" in their studies and interventions. Debates have been raised about the MSM classification for decades. However, we know little about how people who are classified as MSM perceive and respond to this classification, particularly in the authoritarian context where the biopower interacts with the repressive state power. Drawing upon Ian Hacking's dynamic nominalism theory, this study tries to fill these gaps with interviews of 40 gay men in three Chinese cities about their interactions with public health education materials. I examined their perceptions of MSM knowledge and discourses associated with the classification, as well as their identifications to the MSM subject. I found that, on the one hand, many gay men had internalized the MSM subjectivity and considered themselves essentially at high risk of HIV infection. This compliance was constructed through various biopower techniques with the support of the state's repressive power, as the Chinese state censored almost all public representations of gay men except the HIV/AIDS subject MSM. On the other hand, some of my interviewees were resistant to be part of the MSM classification. I showed how this failure is an unintended consequence of the hegemonic MSM discourse and the authoritarian regime's institutional exclusion of the gay men's community's engagement in the expertise network that develops intervention materials and strategies. At last, I proposed to move beyond the debate around the name and representational character of the MSM by moving toward a more reflexive public health. How women make decisions about care-seeking during pregnancy and childbirth, is a key determinant of maternal and child health (MCH) outcomes. Indigenous communities continue to display the highest levels of maternal and infant mortality in Mexico, a fact often accounted for by reference to inadequate access to quality services. A growing body of research has identified gender inequality as a major determinant of MCH, although this has rarely been situated historically in the context of major social and epistemological shifts, that occurred under colonialism. I used a feminist ethnography to understand the structural determinants of Indigenous maternal health. I drew on research about the colonial and post-colonial origins of ethnic and gender inequality in Mexico and specifically the Wixárika Indigenous region, in order to identify the different ways in which women have historically been disadvantaged, and the processes, situations and interaction dynamics that emerged from this. Sixty-four Wixárika women weed household dynamics or empowering women, the historical and colonial roots of these inequalities remain unchallenged. BACKGROUND Preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by total mesorectal excision is widely accepted as the standard of care for high-risk rectal cancer. Adjuvant chemotherapy is advised in several international guidelines, although the survival benefit remains unclear and compliance is poor. The current multidisciplinary approach has led to major improvements in local control, yet the occurrence of distant metastases has not decreased accordingly. The combination of short-course radiotherapy (SCRT) and chemotherapy in the waiting period before surgery might have several benefits, including higher compliance, downstaging and better effect of systemic therapy. METHODS This is an investigator-initiated, international multicentre randomized phase III trial. High-risk rectal cancer patients were randomized to SCRT followed by chemotherapy (6 cycles CAPOX or alternatively 9 cycles FOLFOX4) and subsequent surgery, or long-course radiotherapy (25-28 × 2-1.8 Gy) with concomitant capecitabine followed by surgery and optional postoperative chemotherapy (8 cycles CAPOX or 12 cycles FOLFOX4) according to local institutions' policy.
